# Why Xero payment pages

> Why businesses put a branded Pay Now page in front of Xero invoices instead of a generic processor splash screen.

A Xero invoice already carries the brand of the business. **Pay Now often does not.** The customer leaves a document they recognise and lands on Stripe, GoCardless or PayPal chrome they do not.

## Problems this service targets

- Pay Now opens a processor page that does not look like the organisation that billed them.
- Finance waits for a bank feed, or types the card settlement back into Xero by hand.
- Operations still cannot see paid state until someone copies it into the next system.
- Retrying an ambiguous card payment risks a duplicate receipt on the invoice.

OnDraft registers a **Xero Payment Service** so Pay Now opens a page drafted for the business, then writes the payment back to the invoice once.

## What this is not

Not a Xero App Store listing. Not a claim that every Xero org already has the page live. The page, the Stripe account, and which invoices offer Pay Now are scoped.
